About Scia Engineer

SCIA Engineer is an integrated, multi-material structural analysis software and design tool for all kinds of structures. Its wide range of functionality makes it the ideal partner for the design of office buildings, industrial plants, bridges or any other project, all within the same easy-to-use environment. Powerful CAD-like modeling, advanced types of calculation, code-compliant multi-material design and customizable reports. Typical situations can be automated with built-in or user-defined parametric templates for various geometries and powerful load generation tools. SCIA Engineer provides the most comprehensive implementation of Eurocodes, including National Annexes, U.S. codes and other international standards. Seamless exchange of models with other project stakeholders, through the powerful bi-directional links with Allplan, Revit and Tekla Structures, Open BIM's IFC or third-party plug-ins.

Altair SimSolid
By performing structural analyses on fully featured CAD assemblies within minutes, SimSolid is the game-changing simulation technology for designers, engineers, and analysts. It eliminates geometry preparation and meshing: the two most time-consuming, expertise-extensive and error-prone tasks performed in a conventional structural simulation. Multiple design scenarios can be simulated quickly under real-life conditions. Early CAD models, in any common format, can be used. SimSolid tolerance of imprecise geometry means that, unlike CAD-embedded simulation tools, there is no need to simplify complex geometries before analyzing designs. SimSolid supports all typical connections (bolt/nut, bonded, welds, rivets, sliding) and analysis of linear static, modal, thermal properties, along with more complex coupled, nonlinear, transient dynamic effects.

RFEM
RFEM
The FEA program RFEM allows for quick and easy modeling, structural and dynamic calculation, as well as the design of models with member, plate, wall, folded plate, shell, and solid elements. Due to the modular software concept, you can connect the main program RFEM with the corresponding add‑ons in order to meet your individual requirements. The structural analysis program RFEM provides structural engineers with a 3D FEA program that meets all requirements in modern civil engineering. Efficient data input and intuitive handling facilitate the modeling of simple and complex structures. The structural analysis program RFEM is the basis of a modular software system. The basic program RFEM is used to define structures, materials, and loads for planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells, and members. The program also allows you to create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.

    "Misleading superb software marketing"

    Edited 2023-06-01

    Pros: Technical report is practical and nicely designed. It can be arranged pretty fast.

    Deflection output is well presented.

    Cons: For modelling of complex structures you need at least a year of practice.

    Output results are often misleading and disproportional. This is often the case for flat slab design in which i need always to use a second program for checking.

    Seismic design according to EC8 is inexistent.

    Overall: I do not recommend this program due to many impracticalities. If not an experienced engineer you can make serious mistakes in relation to expected results... If you are designing in seismic zones besides seismic analysis with this program you cannot design nothing according to EC8.
